This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
See that boy just standing over there
He stopped me today said he liked my hair. Ooh
He asked me where you going tonight (err)
And I said I'm with my girls (yeah A was on the run)
To tell you the truth he was just a lil bit fresh
He said he liked the way I put my lipstick on
He said how many sugars do you like in your tea? (umm)
I said forget about the sugar have a spoonful of me, 'cause I taste so sweet
Oh my gosh
He's making eyes at me and I don't mind at all
Oh my gosh
He's making my imagination run w-wild
Listen to this yea
There I was with a drink in my hand
No cares in the world didn't have a plan
I turned around and I caught his eye
He made me lose my concentration
Did you get his number? (No)
Did you get his name? (Umm)
What score would you give him on a scale of 1 to 10?
I didn't get his number. (I didn't get his number)
I don't know his name.
But I think he's hot ya'no and I think he is a 10
Oh my gosh
He's making eyes at me and I don't mind at all
Oh my gosh
He's making my imagination run w-wild
(No no no no no no no)
Oh my gosh
He's making eyes at me and I don't mind at all
Oh my gosh
He's making my imagination run w-wild
(No no no no no no no)
Chinese eyes
Ice cube lips
Feel it in da eyes
Oh
Oh I'm feeling you girl
From your head to your feet
'Cause you look so good I can barely speak
Give me your digits a can phone you
Got all things I want to tell you
Oh my gosh I think I love you
Oh my gosh
He's making eyes at me and I don't mind at all
Oh my gosh
He's making my imagination run w-wild
(No no no no no no no)
Oh my gosh
Oh my gosh
He stopped me today said he liked my hair. Ooh
He asked me where you going tonight (err)
And I said I'm with my girls (yeah A was on the run)
To tell you the truth he was just a lil bit fresh
He said he liked the way I put my lipstick on
He said how many sugars do you like in your tea? (umm)
I said forget about the sugar have a spoonful of me, 'cause I taste so sweet
Oh my gosh
He's making eyes at me and I don't mind at all
Oh my gosh
He's making my imagination run w-wild
Listen to this yea
There I was with a drink in my hand
No cares in the world didn't have a plan
I turned around and I caught his eye

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
THIS SONG IS THE BEST! few mistakes in this tho, but oh well, i listen to this all da time
awesome song!tells about this guy I\'m into, \"he makes my imagination run w-wild\" :)
"but i stopped listening, he got me daydreamin"
I thought it said "I said forget about the sugar have a spoonfull of me 'cause I taste so sweet"
I've heard 2 vesions, one with "but i stopped listening, he got me daydreamin" and "I said forget about the sugar have a spoonfull of me 'cause I taste so sweet". Is one some sort of radio edit or sumthing?
I love the way this song is a conversation- its different and I LOVE IT!! the video is sooo funny, loadsa old folk in a old people's home - it made me laugh hehehehe!
(i think it is about those first steps to starting a relationship - telling your friends about it and being a bit "oh my gosh" - )
Awesome song, plus the girl sounds hot!
best song haha
SUCH a good song... all about those first looks and conversations in a relationship.
Love this track. It's awesome to have on when you're getting dressed and putting your make up on ready for a night out. The whole CD is fun.
Great to dance to, as well.
